What Are Wisdom Teeth And Why Do They Need To Be Extracted?

The appearance of your wisdom teeth, also known as your third molars, is one significant dental milestone that typically occurs between the ages of 17 and 21. Problems can arise if wisdom teeth erupt in the incorrect position or there is insufficient room for them to grow. According to the Ontario Dental Association, young adults are frequently advised to have their wisdom teeth extracted because the risks associated with the procedure and the recuperation period tend to rise with age.

Who Is A Candidate For This Preventive Treatment?

Wisdom teeth extraction is not necessary for everyone, but some patients are good candidates:

• Age Considerations: Our dentist will start checking for impacted wisdom teeth at the end of adolescence. Wisdom teeth are often extracted from individuals in their late teens or early twenties. Many patients in their 30s, however, may still require or desire to have their wisdom teeth extracted for a variety of reasons. Wisdom teeth can be extracted at slightly different ages because everyone grows at a different rate.
• Patients Undergoing Orthodontics: As part of your braces treatment or other dental care treatment, our dentist might also advise wisdom tooth extraction.

How To Care For Oral Health After Wisdom Teeth Removal

• Because food can become stuck, patients should refrain from chewing near the extraction site. Use warm salt water to carefully rinse if this occurs.
• Small, hard foods like granola, nuts, and seeds should be avoided during healing as they can irritate delicate areas.
• Avoid using straws to drink because the sucking motion can exacerbate bleeding.
• Recovery can be aided by selecting a post-surgery diet that includes soft, nourishing foods.
